Give it 500 years or so.
Their believers will be talking about the miracles the old Jedi could perform. Lord Yoda and his acrobatics. Master Luke, may he have glory forever, and his years in space where he battled the dark force and converted his own father and rescued him from the claws of evil.

They will talk about how the old powers are lost, due to the immorality of man. Probably sexrelated.
They will search for the lost chronicles, known only as 7, 8 and 9.

And let’s not forget St. George Lucas, the prophet, may he have glory forever, who brought the truth to Earth. Surely that had to be the work of Jedi. No man could ever come up with a story filled with such greatness.

Give it time.

[quote author=“SkepticX”]We had the same thing happen in the US in the last census. I think the Jedi religion is really just a bastardization of Taoism though.

I really question whether Jedi is an offshoot of Taoism. After all, the Jedi arose a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. :wink: We are only just now finding out about it. It seems implausible that the Jedi culture would ever have found out about Taoism and been influenced by it. :?

Given enough time, anything can happen. Maybe the proto-Jedi came through a wormhole to visit Earth recently, and brought back news of Taoism to their end of the Universe.

Hahaha. Could be. I wonder if Jedists will be killing each other over rival interpretations of the “gospel”? Really, this “religion” is just as probable (or ‘inprobable’ I should say) an explanation of human existance and a source of morality as Christianity and/or Islam. God exists outside of time and space and picked a time arbitrarily to expose the truth to the world through his divinely inspired written word….... the Jedi god could be doing the same thing, only a little later and with a different medium….

I’m going to start practicing my Jedi skills right away. Especially the one where you wave your hand in front of someone’s face, and they just agree with whatever you say or do. Think how convenient that would be for getting into clubs or overbooked restaurants, and avoiding speeding tickets and such.

If you’re not familiar with Quantum Physics, this might sound strange - but there is actually a “Force” throughout the universe that permeates all life. It’s called the Higgs field. In short, everything is both a wave and a particle - the Higgs boson gives all particles their mass and corresponding fields - the Higgs boson is the Higgs Field. “The Force” is as true as life itself. Quantum Physics is the most proven theory in the history of mankind - and this year, with the Large Hadron Collider going live, we just might detect the “holy grail” of quantum physics - THE FORCE - the Higgs field/boson. **Note the one-loop Feynman diagram that shows what the field actually does - corresponding EXACTLY with the Taoism Yin/Yang.

There is no emotion; there is peace.
There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no passion; there is serenity.
There is no chaos: there is harmony.
There is no death; there is the Force.
